Coffee probably causes more bilious
ness and so-called malaria than any
one other thing—even bad climate.
(Tea is Just as harmful as coffee be
cause it contains caffeine, the drug in
coffee).
A Ft Worth man says:
*T hsve always been of a bilious tem
perament, subject to mslarla and up,
to one year ago a perfect slave to cof
fee. At times I would be covered with
bolls and full of malarial poison, waa
very nervous and had swimming In
the head.
"I don't know how It happened, but
I finally became convinoed that my
sickness was due to the use of coffee,
and a little leas than a year ago I
stopped coffee and began drinking
Postum.
"From that time I have not bad a
boll, not had malaria at all, have
gain«d IS pounda good solid weight
andvuw beyond all doubt this Is due
to the use of Postum In place of cof
fee, as I have taken no medicine at
all.
"Postum has certainly made healthy,
iwd blood for me fir plac* of the blood
that coffee drinking impoverished and
made unhealthy." Name given by

Postum makes rsd blood.

CONVENTION HI
RALEIGH SOON
I GREAT PREPARATIONS BEING
MADE FOR MANY VISITORS
I TO THE CITY.
i TWO THOUSAND EXPECTED
i .
i
, Chairman Wilson Expects to Maks the
| Raleigh Visit So Attractive That
This Will Be the Perpectual Con
vention City In the Future.
I Raleigh.—The great event of this
1 week la the State Democratic Con
vention, which ia called by Chairman
A. H. Eller, of the State Democratic
' Executive Committee.
The convention isn't interesting
merely to North Carolinians, but to
every state In the sisterhood of com
monwealths. There ic not a news
paper in the United States which will
! not be concerned with the results as
i they affect presidential" 0 candidates,
j and locally there are enough issues
to make the meeting of deep interest
throughout the state.
Raleigh has made great prepara
i tion9 for the hosts. Provision has
been made for 2,000 delegates and
that number will In all probability be
here. The new hotel 5s promised for
1 that time and in addition to the pub
lic houses, a great number of private
houses are ready for the entertain
ment of the convention people. There
1 Is no fear of a Jam.
In many respects It will be the
1 greatest convention In this genera
tion. There Is no probability of a
patriotic deadlock like that of 1908,
when Messrs. Kitchln and Craig
struggled for three and a half days
for the convention's vote. There
1 were other supremely Important mat
-1 ters before that body, but It was a
Bryan year, and no great Interest in
the presidential matter.
This year, having the best pros
pec's vouchsafed to the party In
twenty years. North Carolina's Demo
! cracy Is called upon to express Its
choice among a great number of dis
tinguished Democrats. While the vote
; will not decide it for anybody, it will
have great weight. In the state pri
maries, Governor Wilson, Southern
born, and Representative Underwood,
a Southern bom, and the great Ala
bama leader of the House, have been
voted upon and the state convention
will settle the strength developed by
them.
Greensboro Driest Town In Btate.
Since June 1, Greensboro is prob
ably the "driest" town In North Caro
lina, either legally or Illegally. A city
ordinance which went into effect mak
es It illegal to sell whiskey on drug
store prescription, the only means
which had been left the thirsty or the
sick to get hold of a little liquor in
this town. On top of this the police
have just closed a strenuous campaign
In the "Jungles" and they proudly
boast of the fact that there Isn't a
tiger or club in the city where whis
key is served.
Hog Cholers Prevalent In Stats.
The statement is made at the state
department of agriculture that hog
cholera Is more prevalent in this
state this season than for a great
while, Robeson and Edgecomb coun
ties seeming to suffer most. The new
serum for vaccination against infec
tion is being called Into service In
many sections and Is proving at least
95 per cent effective. Capt. T. W. Ma
son was at Raleigh from Northamp
ton county and appealed to the de
partment for help in checking the
disease in his section.
Crop Outlook In Caldwell County.
The crop outlook In Caldwell county
this year does not appear to be quite
as good as It did the same time last
year. The heavy rains that have vis
ited this section during the past
did much damage to both uplands
and the bottoms. Along the larger
streams the bottom was badly wash
ed. Many acres of corn that had been
planted, much of which was up and
ready for powlng suffered greatly.
Ruins sre Btlll Bmolderlng.
The ruins of the old Meroney the*
ater, which was burned at Salisbury,
are still smoldering and it became
necessary to bring out the hose and
again turn a stream of water on the
Are. The Post Is being issued under
difficulties from the small plant of
The Spencer Crescent. There Is a
probablltly that a stronger company
financially may be organized and a
larger plant Installed for the purpose
of issuing a biger dally paper. It Is
not known postively that this will
be done.

THREE PRISONERS PARDONED
Clemency Wu Granted By Qovtmor
Kltchln to Dave Cobb, Ephram
tittle and AlonxoWilcka.
Raleigh.—Dave Cobb, of Lenoir
county; Ephram Little, of Mecklen
burg county; and Alonso Hlcka, of
Lenoir county, convicts serving terms
were given executive clemency by
Governor Kltchln. The pardon of each
man was recommended by the court
officials and prominent people.
Cobb was convicted at the May
term, 1910, of housebreaking and
larceny and sentenced to three years
on the road. Reasons for pardon are
as follows: „
"On recommendation of the trial
Judge, solicitor, county officers and
many prominent citizens, I pardon
prisoner on condition that he remain
law-abiding and of good behavior.
Prisoner has been ruptured while
serving his sentence and the county
physician recommends pardon."
Little was sentenced to 12 years In
the State Prison for second degree
murder, having been tried at Decem
ber term, 1904. Reasons for pardon
are as follows:
"On the recommendation of the trial
judge and solicitor, 1 pardon this pris
oner Ephram Little, who has served
the greater part of his sentence and
who did not participate in the actual
killing, but aided and abetted by his
presence, on condition thay he remain
law-abiding and of good behavior."
Hicks was convicted at the October
term, 1911, for the crime of receiving
stolen goods, and sentenced to ten
months on the roads. Reasons for par
don are as follows:
"On the recommendation of the trial
Judge, the solicitor and many others,
I pardon this prisoner who has serv
ed most of his sentence, on condition
that he remain law-abiding and of
good behavior."
Agitating Putting On Sunday Train.
About 20 years ago the North
Western North Carolina Railroad was
built from Winston-Salem to North
Wilkesboro, and with the exception of
one month In 1906 the road lias never
operated a Sunday train. In June of
that year a Sunday train was put on
but there was so much opposition to it
from the ministers at Elkln and North
Wilkesboro, backed by their respective
congregations, that petitions were
circulated and the officials discontinu
ed the service, although the venture
was a success as many people from all
down the line as far as Greensboro
were glad to take advantage of the
Sunday outing afforded and visit
these mountain towns. Citizens of
these towns are again agitating plac
ing Sunday service on the road and
many have signed petitions to this ef
fect. Counter petitions are being cir
culated by those opposed to Sunday
trains on the road and the fight will
be taken to the officials at Washing
ton for settlement.
General orders For Encampment.
Adjutant General Lelnster of the
North Carolina National Guard Issued
the general order for the guard en
campments and other events for the
summer. First there will be the Sec
cond Infantry encampment at Camp
Glenn, Morehead, July 3-12. The Third
Infantry will go to Annlston, Ala., for
training with the regular troops July
6-15. The First Regiment will camp
at Camp Glenn, Morehead, July 16-26
There will be a practice march by
Troop A cavalry July 22-31, this being
Lincolnton to Asheville and return
The coast artillery will be at Fori
Caswell below Wilmington for special
training with the regulars in coast
defense August 5-16.
Have Captured A 40-Gallon Still.
Constable Raymond Hall captured
a forty-gallon still out in Lebanon
township. He found the plant ready
for operation, but the men had not
arrived when the officer came on the
still. He would have hid about the
place and waited for the men, but
found that he did not have time, as he
hid to get-back to Durham in time
to attend court In another case. This
is thfc first still that has been captured
in Lebanon township in some time
This part of the county has improved
a great deal In this regard. At one
time there were many stills in that
township, and the operators were o
pretty lawless element.
To Build New Pow«sr Plant. *
Either a new cotton mill or a power
plant to furnish power for mills with
in this section will be built several
miles west of Bhelby at the Suttle
myre shoals. Ladshaw and Ladshaw
hydraulic engineers, have been en
gaged two or three weeks In making
surveys. This Is a splendid shoal with
good fall, flow and volume of water
It Is impossible to obtain official plapn
but rumor has it that a new cotton
mill will be errected or the electric
power will be developd for the Cliff
side mills.
Negro Man Killed His Brother.
Tom Simmons, a negro man killed
his brother, John Simmons, at Dur
ham. The negroes quarreled about
something just what It was is not
known, and knives were brought Into
play. Tom cut John'* leg, severing an
artery, and he bled to death in a
few minutes. Tom immediately left
for parts unknown. The murder oc
cured in the section of the city known
as Fowler's Hill. The police are on
the trail of the murderer and ft is
thought that his capture will aoon be
effected.
I
Physicians Recommend Castoria
o
pASTQRT A. has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma-
oentioal societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the
result of three &otss //«#—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
That it not only allays stomaoh pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: rw-It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It does not oontain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy.. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, eto. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and reoord the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innooent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy whioh produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information. — Hall's Journal of JltaltH,
i Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ilia., Bays: "I have prescribed yottf
Castoria often for Infanta during my practice, and find It very satisfactory-
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Tour Castoria stands
first In lta class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have
found anything that ao filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn. N. Y., aaya: "I have used your Castoria and
found It an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula la excellent"
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., aaya: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal It for chlldren'a
troubles. lam aware that there are lmltationa In the field, but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher's."
Dr.Wm.J MoCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aalde
from my own family experience I have In my years of practice found Cas
toria a popular and efficient remedy In almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., aaya: "The name that your Cas
tor la has made for Itself in the tena of thouaanda of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needa to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse It and
believe it an excellent remedy."
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansaa City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Caatoria my experi
ence, like that of many other phyalclans, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Caatoria In my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
cian who baa raised a family, aa I have, will join me la heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria."

CUTICURA OINTMENT HEALED
BAD SORE ON LIMB
"Some time ago I waa coming up
some ateps when the board crushed
under me like an egg shell, and my
right limb went through to the knee,
and scraped he flesh off the bone
just Inside and below the knee. I
negleoted It for a day or two, then It
began to hurt me' pretty badly. I put
balsam flr on to draw out the poison,
but when I had used it a week, it hurt
so badly that I changed to oint
ment. That made it smart and burn
so badly that I couldn't use it any
more, and that was the fourth week
after I was hurt
"Then I began to use Cutlcura Oint
ment for the sore. It stopped hurting
Immediately and began healing right
away. It waa a bad-looking sore be
fore Cuticura Ointment healed it, and
I suffered so I couldn't sleep from two
days after I fall until I began using
Cuticura Ointment
"Cutlcura Soap Is the best soap I
ever saw. I have used all kinds of
soap for washing my face, and always
It would leave my face smarting. I
had to keep a lotion to stop the smart,
no matter how expensive a soap I
used. I find at laat in Cutlcura Soap
a soap that will clean my face and
leave no smarting, and I do not have
to uae any lotion or anything else to
ease It. I believe Cuticura Soap is the
best soap made." (Signed) Mrs. M.
